Confusion about Nanakshahi Calendar ? Dear Dr. Awatar Singh Sekhon. Waheguru jee ka Khalsa Waheguru jee kee Fateh If you are unable to open or read the Attachment in Punjabi, please do click Website: www.sikhmarg.com and go through an Article: “Nanakshahi Calendar Da Jhamela”. Another point is about Birth Day of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib: 18th December 1661: reported by Dr. Gopal Singh, Dr. Harjinder Singh Dilgeer . and Dr. Sangat Singh; 22nd December 1666: Bhai Kahn Singh, Prof. Sahib Singh, Dr. Hari Ram Gupta, Principal Satbir Singh, Patwant Singh, Encyclopaedia of Sikhism by Punjabi Uni. Patiala & S. Pal Singh Purewal; 5th January 1667 or 2013: As agreed by SGPC/IOSS/Head Ministers/PS Purewal But for next year, it is listed as: “7th January 2014” ? Why ? In reality, Gobind Rai Sahib became Guru of the Sikhs from 11th November 1675. However, I am of the view that we should not celebrate birth day of any Guru Sahib except the Sikh Foundation Day when Guru Nanak Sahib was born in 1469, though the Sikh Nation has yet to determine the correct Date. For your kind information and further elaboration. Gurmit Singh ………………………………………………………………..

In the “MANORAMA YEAR BOOK 1991” – 26th Year of Publication by Kottayam-686 001,
At the time of independence, the Govt. of India followed the Gregorian calendar based on the Christian era.
The National Government adopted the recommendation of the Calendar Reform Committee that the Saka era be adopted as the basis of the National Calendar. The Saka year has the normal 365 days and begins with Chaitra as its first month. The days of the Saka calendar have a permanent correspondence with the dates of the Gregorian calendar, Chaitra 1 falling on March 22 in a normal year and on March 21 in a Leap Year. The National Calendar commenced on Chaitra 1 Saka, 1879 corresponding to March 22, 1957 A.D.
The months of the National Calendar, with their days and the dates of the Gregorian calendar corresponding to the first day of the Saka month are given below:
Saka & Gregorian Calendars
